Over 100 people of 18 families in Kuakata reserve forest area have been listed as 'Myanmar citizens' although they are living in the area for decades and they have national identity (NID) cards as Bangladeshi citizens.
On June 4, men of Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) distributed a slip to each family in this regard as BBS in their Rohingya census listed these people as 'Myanmar citizens'.
Protesting the matter, the families arranged a press conference at Kuakata Press Club recently. They demanded that the authorities revoke the decision immediately. (Courtesy of thedailystar.net)
